Rocky Mountain Veterinary Rehabilitation - Wheat Ridge, Colorado

My dog just started rehab here and so far it has been absolutely wonderful! Despite my dog’s symptoms being odd I have never felt blown off by them. They’ve not only listened, but been able to offer insights no other vet has. They found issues a neurologist was not able to find. They quickly came up with a plan and set very realistic expectations. They have communicated and been very considerate every step of the way. They’ve also been very friendly and approachable. It’s obvious they genuinely care about helping animals heal. I am so glad this is the place I decided to bring my boy! For the first time in over a year, I feel hopeful about my dog getting better and that is all thanks to Rocky Mountain Vet Rehab.

Update October 2024: Ever since I got my dog, he’s bad posture when sitting. He had a hunch mid back for years. Tonight I realized just how straight his back now is thanks to rehab and massage. No more hunched posture!

We began taking our 8-year old Saint Bernard here as she was having a difficult time walking. Within a few visits, she looked stronger and now she is excited to go on walks and even runs. We had so much success we brought our 9-year old English Bulldog in, too. Although it has only been a few visits, she is also showing more energy and moving better.

I am forever grateful to Dr. Fein, Karen & Janet! In July 2023, our 13+yr old Norwegian Buhund, Decaf, thought he could still chase down a marmot in the alpine tundra & injured himself in a fall. I had a friend refer us to RMVR and it was the most fortunate decision for our little man to go here for rehab. By using acupuncture, body work, cold laser therapy, shockwave, herbals & various strengthening exercises, they helped get him walking, playing & to a Pagosa Springs hiking vacation 8 weeks later.

After acute injury healing, we continued to use for maintenance as Decaf most likely had degenerative disc issues and the therapies kept him happy and active! Unfortunately in October, Decaf was diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma and thus our treatment shifted to supporting his body, immune system & palliative care. A short attempt at chemo made him sick so we switched to only RMVR for his palliative care and without them, neither I nor Decaf would have had the quality of life he had in his remaining 5 wonderful months. The whole team is competent & knowledgeable but most importantly so compassionate & caring. They all went above and beyond for Decaf to make him feel amazing up to the day we had to say goodbye. They were also there for him on his last morning and the love they showed will forever be remembered. He absolutely loved going to visits even if some days he did not want those acupuncture needles :). Decaf thought shockwave therapy was the bomb and would come home and play after most sessions. During his palliative care treatment, he rang in his 14th birthday & went on another hiking vacation in Taos (see photo). He continued walking 2 miles daily & playing until his very last moment. Without the care he received at RMVR, this would not have been possible. Forever thankful Decaf got every minute of enjoyment out of his life.

If you have any pet that has an injury or any quality of life issue, do not hesitate to contact RMVR. It will be the best decision you ever made for your pet.

I have been lucky enough to have been coming to Dr. Fein since about 2018. My girl had to have back to back TPLO surgeries before the age of 3. Dr. Fein worked diligently to make sure I was educated on all things post-op. She has extensive working knowledge of the anatomy of a dog, is specifically trained in eastern medicine and continues to do all research. Though very well equipped through the early years of my girl's injury, she never made us feel like the devastation I felt was routine. I love Dr. Fein's optimistic and clinical nature.

Years later when Bia began having severe pain and pain jolts that were very spread out, I knew exactly who to call. The day of her appointment, she could barely lift her head and couldn't lay down one direction. After years, Dr. Fein remembered us both and it was truly great to be seeing what felt like an old friend I could trust. She did a variety of therapeutic and medicinal approaches including acupuncture. It was refreshing to have Bia's pain addressed so quickly (just a few days!). I feel this process would have been more lengthy at the vet. Bonus, Bia absolutely LOVES coming here. She is pumped every time we arrive and get to play.

We are now working towards a pain free future for Bia together and I could NOT be more thankful, or recommend Dr. Fein enough!

Please take your babies here, I promise it will be worth the education, love and care your pet will receive.

After a recommendation from Winnie’s orthopedic doc, we went to Rocky Mountain Vet Rehab for therapy after her amputation. I couldn’t be happier with Dr Fein and all the therapists! She received a thorough examination and was given a slow progression of home exercises to help her get back to her rambunctious young self! The surgeon cleared her for all activities, but RMVR helped me understand that she needed to work up to those activities to prevent other injuries. I highly recommend!!

RMVR has been wonderful! As my dog has aged, he’s had more orthopedic and health issues pop up. They’ve supported his recovery with a multimodal, customized approach, allowing him to continue doing the things he loves, like hiking and playing with dog friends.

Dr. Fein and the team at Rocky Mountain Veterinary Rehabilitation have been tremendously helpful in working with our pups' challenging conditions. We appreciate that Dr. Fein brings a comprehensive approach with the best of comprehensive rehabilitation treatments along with traditional Chinese veterinary medicine options. They've always been willing to accommodate special situations like our dog-reactive Great Dane who also rarely sits still for a treatment, and everyone is kind, compassionate, and genuinely interested in the best possible health outcomes for our dogs. I would recommend RMVR to anyone looking for the best, well-rounded care for your own pets.

We began coming to Rocky Mountain Veterinary Rehabilitation after a backcountry ski accident which severed our dog's tendons on both of her back legs. With the help of Dr. Fein she made a full tendon recovery. We continue to go to Rocky Mountain for PT as our dog ages, and have seen incredible results. Highly recommend!
